Edit title: [Q] CWM doesn't show backUP/restore options
I have an N9005 which I rooted using Chainfire's excellent CF-Auto-Root, I have since updated it to 4.4.2.
I've decided finally which ROM I want to switch to (Assassin) and so was trying to make a backup of my current ROM. It was then I found that all my recent on-line nandroid backups had failed (they worked about a month ago) so I booted into recovery to run a backup there and found that there is no backup restore option listed!!!
According to ROM Manager, I have CWM 6.0.4.8 installed (I've tried updating it with ROM Manager - no change) but it only lists six options...
Android system recovery <3e>
KOT49H.N9005XXUENB4
Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe date/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
{Android on back with red ! triangle}
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling Multi-CSC....
Applied the CSC-code : VAU
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
Can anyone suggest what is going on. It looks similar to CWM that I'm used to from previous devices, but it says nothing about CWM when booting into recovery. If it weren't from ROM Manager, I'd guess it isn't CWM.
Can anyone suggest how I can get the correct options in recovery? Thoughts, suggestions?
Edit: managed to get online nandroid backup working by reinstalling busybox but still would like recovery working properly before trying to install the new ROM.
